Hello Chris, Here is the Rmd tutorial I've been working on: https://github.com/ess-intro/presentation-rmarkdown/blob/master/presentation-rmarkdown.Rmd I've just updated it to incorporate some simplifications in configuration that I've been working on with the Polymode developer Vitalie

Are the bugs something that could be helped if there was small funding for a student internship? If potentially useful, any of the ESS developers can contact me directly. On Thu, Sep 23, 2021 at 3:53 AM Martin Maechler via ESS-help < ess-help@r-project.org> wrote: > > Lionel Henry via

We'd love to do a release but ESS is not in a good place right now. Recent versions of Emacs interrupt background commands (essential to completion and contextual help like eldoc) when the user starts typing, which causes hard to solve problems. The dev branch is mostly working but not 100%

Hi Gang: I’m not directly answering the question because I don’t use Rmd (but I do use Rnw all of the time). And, just to react to a few of Dirk’s and Tyler’s comments. Over the last few years, we have moved away from having to set up features with .emacs/etc. as much as possible. Generally,

Hi, Polymode went through a major overhaul which I think was after 2014, so that blog post may be outdated. The overhaul made polymode much easier to use, such that there's very little config needed to get it set up. I wrote a tutorial describing my Rmd workflow in the past year for Dirk's ESS
